the quote that is catching everybody's attention comes from tennessee senator bob corker. he said republicans know they have the debt ceiling that's coming up right around the corner, and the leverage is going to shift. hopefully we'll do the same thing we did the last time. and, of course, he is referring to the summer of 2011. so the question is are they agreeing to rate hikes and then go ahead and take the economy hostage? what is your response to that? >> well, they have part of this right, and they have part of it totally wrong. what they're right about is they see the handwriting on the wall and the fact that they're going to have to join with democrats to extend the middle class tax cuts, because if they don't, the whole country will see that they were willing to tank the entire economy and give everybody a tax increase in order to get this bonus break for folks at the top. so i think you're seeing more republicans recognize that fact. where they're just dead-wrong, ed, is thinking that they're going to gain leverage over this debt ceiling, because the american peop
